This estimate does not include hosting and domain name registration fees.

  2. Site will consist of only that which is described in the Site Description. Additional work required by Client (such as added pages or features) will result in charges beyond the estimate in this Agreement.

  3. The process for the creation of visuals, such as graphics and page designs, consists of CS.COM providing drafts and asking for feedback from the Client; the feedback is then used to produce another draft. This estimate assumes that 2 rounds of this process for each design element will suffice.

  4. CS.COM shall be entitled to place an unobtrusive credit with a hypertext link ("Web Site Design by CioppaSolutions.com") in the footer on each page of the web site. In the event that the site is no longer maintained solely by CS.COM, this credit may be removed.

  5. CS.COM estimates that the cost for producing the site described in the attached Site Description will be ____________ . If pages, graphics, or other features are added, or work beyond the scope of this Agreement is otherwise required, costs may exceed estimate. In this case, Client will be provided with a written estimate for the additional work.

  6. Payment shall be made as follows:
    1. A deposit of 1/3 of estimated total, _________, is due upon signing of this Agreement, before work begins;
    2. A second payment of 1/3 of the estimated total (adjusted for changes in estimate if necessary) is due when basic page designs (without added content) are complete and approved, or at about the ½-finished point;
    3. The last 1/3 (adjusted for changes in estimate if necessary) is due upon completion of site as described, before site 'goes live'.
      Note: Refunds shall not be given for termination of the project at any phase unless the Client can clearly demonstrate that specified design requirements were not met.


  7. If the production process takes longer than 30 days, billing will switch to semimonthly for a prorated portion of fees incurred, with invoices sent mid-month and at month's end.

  8. CS.COM will maintain the confidentiality of Client's source materials, technical and marketing plans and all other sensitive information.

  9. CS.COM and Client agree that any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall first be resolved by mediation, if possible.

  10. Client is solely responsible for the editorial content of the material included on its website.

  11. Web site design and files are the property of CS.COM; upon full payment, web site design and files become the property of the Client.
